thoughts go out to my friend kylie

Reading this article about my fellow friend Kylie, I was stunned. http://www.dailycal.org/2014/03/03/love-thy-sister/

How could this be happening in the most liberal campus I know of, at UC Berkeley in the heart of political freedom and LGBTQ communities? I never knew all that she was undergoing, and if only I knew how to help back then.

I admit that I was surprised when I first saw Kylie bringing her girlfriend to a dinner gathering among singaporeans sometime 1 or 2 years back, but it passed over really quickly. I was happy for her and while it came as a surprise, it affected me a lot less than I thought. Kylie was still who she was, and I had no real reason to judge her for her choices.

Interestingly, I never knew how LGBT christians reconciled their faith and their sexual orientation, and now I guess I have a better idea about it. It's definitely a touchy topic, and it's difficult for both the national board and the Berkeley chapter, as well as for the couple themselves.

How can you weigh what is right or wrong?
